Abstract Objective In preclinical models, insulin resistance in the dorsal striatum (DS) contributes to overeating. Although human studies support the concept of central insulin resistance, they have not investigated its effect on consummatory reward-induced brain activity. Methods Taste-induced activation was assessed in the caudate and putamen of the DS with blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Social distancing is defined by Johns Hopkins Medicine as deliberately increasing the physical space between people to avoid spreading illness.
